Design Thinking Workshops

Tired of the inefficiency of traditional meetings? Frustrated by having to sit and listen when you could be actively facing challenges and finding out-of-the-box solutions?

MODA’s Design Thinking workshops give businesses and teams an opportunity to learn an innovative and effective way of tackling problems, big and small.

What is Design Thinking?

Design Thinking is a proven problem solving process that is an invaluable tool for any business or team. With its combination of creative and critical thinking, Design Thinking allows information and ideas to be organized, decisions to be made, situations to be improved, and knowledge to be gained.

Introduction to Design Thinking (2 – 2.5 hours)

This high-energy, two-hour workshop provides participants with an experiential introduction to the Design Thinking process. Teams learn by doing as they work through a collaborative, fast-paced, facilitator-led design cycle that provides a terrific overview of the power of Design Thinking.

Participants learn:

strategies for gaining empathy in a situation

how to use brainstorming to find solutions to challenges

how rapid prototyping brings solutions to reality so they can be tested and feedback can be obtained

to embrace early failures as opportunities for refining ideas and learning

Half-Day Design Thinking Workshop (4 hours)

Use early failures as a means of refining ideas and learning and improving outcomes

By the end of this workshop, your team will have an understanding of the Design Thinking process and be able to continue using it with confidence as they face new and different challenges. They will also have developed a range of possible solutions to the specific challenge addressed in the exercise that can be implemented and tested.
